In order to get hooked by TDD it sometimes seems too much effort to setup things, but that should not be the barrier. Along came Google Spreadsheets and I had a no-setup environment, at least for doing katas and showing of the magic of being rewarded with a red box switching to green once I implemented the right thing. I will tell you the story of how I tried to make TDD as simple as possible and how I ended up with Google Spreadsheets and also how this inspired me to build tddbin.com for use at our JSCodeRetreats. I believe it's the red-green cycle that got them hooked. I did it with students and also kids even a manager asked me "why does not everyone program like that?".

One of the hardest thing I re-learned way too late again was thinking in small steps. Baby steps. They are a very helpful concept for developing with working in code esp. when refactoring or TDDing. Why do baby steps make sense? And how can you get into the mind set?
A coding dojo style talk - where the audience drives me, tells me what to do. Each person gets three minutes to drive me towards the result. On the way we discover, discuss and try to figure out some details about how to best approach a solution. We do some refactoring and in the end a quick retrospective of what we have applied, where we could improve and what take away might be worth to apply in the day job when back in real life.

Slides of the session presented at Dear Azure user group on 25th October. The session covered Docker basics, working with SQL Server 2017 & 2019 in Linux containers, containerizing the .Net Core application. Also demonstrated the options for deploying containers to Azure using Web Apps, Serverless Azure Container Instances and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).
The web is finally coming of age with respect to increasing sophistication of the structure and presentation of visual information, the standardization of technologies to more easily create and display this information, physical devices that make this information easily accessible, and finally growing social connectivity.

JavaScript The Language Meetup - Async functionswolframkriesing
"JavaScript The Language" #jslang is a hands-on meetup just about the language JavaScript (as specified). Not about any library, framework or the latest programming techniques.
This time we focused on async functions (also known as async+await).
ES6Katas.org - an introduction and the story behindwolframkriesing
We at uxebu created ES6Katas.org. Our TDD background made it feel natural to explore the new language features using katas. So we developed some katas, so others can do too. I will show you why TDDBin was an essential part of it and how you can have fun with it and learn while doing so.
A quick overview of the most important latest things about refactoring, lots of it based on Martin Fowler's excellent: http://martinfowler.com/articles/workflowsOfRefactoring

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
